Welcome to Eagles Roost! We’re so glad you’re heading our way soon!
We are Jerome and Kellie Daley, owners of this little slice of Appalachian heaven. Whether you come for mountain adventures, romance, or some well-deserved R & R, you are most welcome. Check-in is 4pm, and check-out is 11am.
This online Home Book should offer all you need to know to fully operate and enjoy this home as well as guide you to some of the many great things to do here in the High Country. If you have any needs while you are here, we are only a message away. We want your stay to exceed your expectations in every way. Enjoy!

Essentials
wifi
Network: Netgear03 Password: largebolt398. We have 100 MBPS service for super-fast speeds on all your devices!
Cell Phone service
The mountains are notoriously bad for cellular service. If you have Verizon, you can probably make and receive calls from the house, but to improve connection please turn on wifi-assist on your phone.
consideration for neighbors
Please be conscientious to help children avoid jumping and banging that would disturb our neighbors beneath us. They will be most appreciative. And because we’re all in close quarters here, please keep music and conversation to respectful levels…particularly on the deck.
TV
The TV has 2 remotes—located underneath the flip-top of the black couch table: one for the cable service (HDMI 1), and one for streaming services. A Netflix account is included, and you can log into others if you have your own subscription.
fireplace
Use the switch on the wall, at the corner between the fireplace and the stairwell, to turn the fireplace on and off by selecting an amount of time for it to run. Please do not manipulate any of the controls on the logs themselves without direction from us! If for some reason the pilot light has gone out, let us know so we can remedy that.
Pool, Hot tub, Clubhouse, and Fitness Room
These beautiful facilities are located about a quarter mile to the north; Ridge pool & hot tub are open May through September, closed for the winter (see maps below). In the winter months, please use the pool & hot tub in the lower neighborhood (put 1007 Echota Pkwy, Boone, NC 28607 in your GPS). Your electronic fob will give you entrance to all these facilities. Wifi there: network is “Echota Clubhouse”, password is “echotanc.”
makeup
Please use the provided make-up wipes instead of our white washcloths or towels.
Cooking & eating
In addition to the built-in appliances, there is a toaster oven, a blender, and hopefully all the tools you will need to enjoy pulling together meals simple or elaborate! A switch just to the right of the stove turns on undercounter lights for more visibility. Placemats are in the small wooden cabinet in the dining room.
To operate the electric grill on the deck, touch the power button to turn it on: the ring around the large knob will blink red; turn the knob to set your desired temperature, then press it so that the light ring turns solid red. When the grill is hot, the ring will turn blue. To turn the grill off, press and hold the power button until the lights go off.
deck
The POA does not allow bird seed (besides the hummingbird feeder) or any open flame on the decks. Please follow this rule, or we may be fined! And of course our deck is very high, so please do not leave young children unattended.
When the wind is strong, the deck door can blow open, so please leave that door locked with the deadbolt when not in use. If you happen to get locked out on the deck, there is a hanging key near the master bedroom door.
skiing
The closest ski resort is Sugar Mountain, located a short 8.6-mile drive at 1009 Sugar Mountain Dr, Sugar Mountain, NC 28604. When you return, please leave snowy gear on the front deck, the back deck, or clean them thoroughly before bringing inside.
The other major ski resort is Beech Mountain, located 16.5 miles from here at 1007 Beech Mountain Pkwy, Beech Mountain, NC 28604.
Safety & First Aid
In the red cabinet in the dining room, you’ll find a first aid kit, a flashlight, and bee spray. A fire extinguisher is located in the double-door closet that houses the washer/dryer.
The closest urgent care is Ballad Health Medical Associates Urgent Care located 11 miles away at 108 Park Ave, Banner Elk, NC 28604 (828-783-9183). The closest hospital is Watauga Medical Center located 11 miles in the opposite direction at 336 Deerfield Rd, Boone, NC 28607 (828-262-4100). Echota Security is available at 828-963-0993.
